Improve Your Battery Life
Improve Your Battery Life
We've all felt it. That end-of-day exhaustion where your mental battery is completely drained. We often blame a heavy workload, but the real culprit is something quieter: the unnecessary cognitive burden from the tasks we do. Every bit of that unnecessary burden reduces your battery life.
We're often told the solution is "complete automation," but is that always the answer?
Sometimes, all you need is to reframe the problem.
Take paying my monthly society maintenance bill, for example. It's a tedious process. Am I comfortable with an AI agent having autonomous access to my netbanking? Not really. The security and control are too important.
Instead of chasing an uncomfortable level of automation, I reframed the goal: How can I make this task cognitively easier?
This is the Zehen way. We break the problem down:
-
The High-Control Part (Manual): I still log into my bank myself. I make the payment and download the receipt. This keeps me in control and only takes a few minutes.
-
The High-Drudgery Part (Zehen-Assisted): The moment that's done, I run a single ZStep. It connects to an agent that takes that receipt, emails it to the society accountant, files it in my right "Paid Bills" folder, and updates my personal finance spreadsheet.
The result? The most mentally draining parts of the task vanish, but I never give up control. By doing this, I've essentially turned on a task-specific battery saver that goes a long way in extending my day's battery life. Not only this, the agent itself was created in a low cognitive effort way through a single AI prompt!
Almost every task I used to do pre-Zehen now benefits from this battery-saver approach, giving me new opportunities for more practical problem-solving and further battery savings. It becomes a recursive loop that brings your cognitive drain down to a bare minimum. The more Zehen you use, the better Zehen gets. The more it covers your back.
This is the power of reframing. This is how Zehen helps you carve friction out of your life, one ZStep at a time, to make your burdens easier and your mind quieter.
